Puberty in boys occurs between 10 and 14 years of age. In many ways, it depends on endocrine changes. The pituitary and thyroid glands secrete male hormones that promote normal development.
Instructions
Step 1
Puberty in adolescents can be divided into accelerated (acceleration) and delayed (retardation). The first creates the most favorable conditions for personal development. The second type of puberty can be attributed to young men who have a dysthymic personality type, namely, they are distinguished by frailty, irritability, and indifference.
Step 2
The first thing that undergoes change during puberty is height and weight. According to the average statistical indicators, at 11 years old boys are 150 cm tall and weigh 40 kg. For adolescence, young men gain 10 cm in height, in weight from 5 to 10 kg. The peak of the growth spurt occurs in boys precisely at the age from 13 to 17 years.
Step 3
The proportions of the body of young men change greatly. First, the head grows to adult size, then the hands and feet. This is why many teenagers feel they look awkward. The growth of the skeleton outstrips the development of the musculature. This leads to a disproportionate body.
Step 4
The internal systems of the body start to work differently. Due to the rapid development, difficulties arise in the functioning of the heart and lungs. Changes in vascular and muscle tone cause a rapid change in physical and emotional state. Therefore, the cheerfulness and excitement inherent in young men can quickly be replaced by a sad and depressed mood.
Step 5
In adolescence, the appearance of young men changes greatly. From 11 to 15 years old, a new image of the physical "I" is formed. Interest in your appearance is increasing. All her flaws are experienced very sharply. Getting rid of disproportionate facial features, acne and excess weight for many becomes an obsessive condition. As a consequence, psychological illnesses such as anorexia and bulimia can occur. When your son reaches adolescence, show him as much love and warm, trusting relationships as possible. Be tactful. Do not deny the flaws in the child's appearance, it is best to help him get rid of them. Remember that children always need your support.
Step 6
Secondary sexual characteristics also appear. In young men, hair begins to grow profusely on the skin, and their voice changes. Boys begin to experience sexual arousal. Most young men are aware of the origins of this arousal and accept some form of release (masturbation). Young men are less likely than girls at a given age to manifest spiritual love.
